General info

1.Has four-wheel drive

Lamborghini Urus (2019)

Four-wheel drive is a system where torque is distributed to all four wheels of the vehicle. It is beneficial in some circumstances such as providing increased traction in tricky weather conditions, but is most suited to off-road driving.

2. longer drivetrain warranty (years)

3yrs

The drivetrain warranty covers parts of the car such as the engine, transmission, driveshaft etc. This is usually longer than the basic warranty. It lasts either a certain number of years or amount of kilometres driven.

Best

Mitsubishi Pajero (2017)

10yrs

3.Has air suspension

Lamborghini Urus (2019)

Air suspension offers a smoother ride than the traditional steel spring suspension. It is also often adjustable, allowing you to raise or lower it based on the type of driving you are doing.

4. longer basic warranty (years)

3yrs

The basic warranty of a car covers all aspects other than parts which are subject to normal wear and tear, such as windscreen wipers and brake pads. It lasts either a certain number of years or amount of kilometres driven.

Best

Hyundai Nexo (2019)

5yrs

5.Has a petrol (gasoline) engine

Lamborghini Urus (2019)

A petrol (gasoline) engine offers several advantages over diesel. For example the engines tend to be lighter and cheaper than their diesel counterparts. Petrol engines also tend to have higher horsepower, and the fuel is more readily available.

6. less CO2 emissions

290g/km

The CO2 emissions of the car, measured in grams per kilometre. A car with less emissions is better for the environment.

3. longer wheelbase

3m

The wheelbase is the distance between the center of the front and rear wheels. A longer wheelbase provides the car with more stability and a smoother ride (although a shorter wheelbase can provide more responsive handling).

4. greater cargo volume

616l

A larger cargo area is more practical as it allows you to transport more things.

Ford Explorer (2017)

2313.5l

5. lower ground clearance

160mm

The ground clearance is the distance between the lowest point of the car and the road surface. A shorter ground clearance lowers a vehicle’s center of gravity - increasing its handling ability and reducing the chance of a rollover. However, a higher ground clearance allows you to go over more uneven terrain.

Engine

1. larger fuel tank

75l

A larger fuel tank means that you have to stop to refill less often.

Best

Chevrolet Suburban LT AWD (2015)

117l

2. higher maximum torque

850Nm

Torque is a measurement of an engine’s power, closely related to horsepower. More torque indicates a more powerful car, and is also a good indication of its acceleration.

Best

Lamborghini Urus (2019)

850Nm

3.Has a turbocharged engine

Lamborghini Urus (2019)

A turbocharger compresses the air entering the cylinders, allowing more air (and therefore more fuel) to be added - resulting in a more powerful explosion. This leads to an increase in horsepower without increasing the size and weight of the engine.

4. more horsepower

650hp

Horsepower is the most common unit for measuring the power of an engine.

Best

Faraday Future FF 91

1050hp

5. larger engine size

4l

This measurement is the total volume of all the engine's cylinders, also known as the engine displacement. This is one of many aspects of an engine that determine its horsepower, but generally speaking a greater size indicates more power.

Best

Cadillac Escalade (2015)

6.2l

6. better fuel economy (combined)

12.7l/100 km

Fuel economy is a measurement of fuel efficiency, based on how far you can travel with a certain amount of petrol (gasoline). A lower fuel economy means the car will be cheaper to run.

Features

1. more airbags

10

Airbags are designed to cushion occupants in the event of an impact. The standard number is around six as some cars now incorporate additional ones, such as knee airbags, side airbags and side curtain airbags.

2.Has Bluetooth

Lamborghini Urus (2019)

Bluetooth is a wireless technology that allows you to easily transfer data between different devices, such as smartphones, tablets and computers.

Height-adjustable seat belts permit passengers of different sizes to move the seat belt up or down for improved comfort. They are also especially useful for increasing the safety of children.

5.Has smart key as standard

Lamborghini Urus (2019)

A smart key is a wireless key that offers several benefits over a traditional key. For example when you approach the car the doors will automatically unlock, and you can turn the engine on with the press of a button.

6.Has ISOFIX/LATCH

Lamborghini Urus (2019)

ISOFIX (also known as LATCH) is a standard system of attachment points for child safety seats, allowing them to be fitted quickly and safely.
